Words can change how we think, act or dress; and even determine what we do with our life. This message looks at what the Bible has to say about taking control of our thoughts and speaking words of faith and words of life.

Hoarders are people that are in a constant battle by an obsessive need to acquire (and failure to use or discard) a significant amount of possessions, even if the items are worthless, hazardous, or unsanitary. This is much like when people come to Jesus.
